From The Depths Poem by Bonnie Jean Roberts

You pulled me down, deep into the caverns
Of your dark mind. No one to hear my screams.

No care from you that I could not breathe.
I stayed out of fear, out of shame.

I hid myself away afraid you would sting me
I cowered in the depths under your shadow.

My free spirit was grounded in the ominous abyss
Had me pinned under the rocks with your kiss

How I learned to breathe, how I survived
Is a mystery to me. You had me tangled me in your net.

Your hooks went deep. No matter it hurt me,
I ripped them from my flesh, death no longer existed

I was already dead inside, you took life from me.
I bled all the way to the surface while you met your karma.

But I lived. I survived. You lost your prize.
You died the death you planned for me.
